Jessica Ammons is a native North Carolinian who currently resides in Crozet VA. She spent 13 years in corporate sales after Appalachian State University. Recognizing the need to be more available to her two young sons and their active family life, she scaled back to part time employment in the construction industry, learning the tricks of the trades in yet another male-driven industry.
September happens to be Alopecia Awareness Month, which Jessica holds near and dear to her heart. Some alopecia patients might say they have suffered from the disorder, but Jessica refers specifically to surviving Alopecia Areata (AA) for the past 37 years of her life. Diagnosed when she was seven years old, Jessica has tried almost every treatment available for AA, none of which have proven as successful as her latest journey through a clinical trial of the recently FDA approved drug (Baricitinib).
Alopecia Areata is a common autoimmune skin disease, causing hair loss and affecting 6.8 million people in the U.S. (NAAF, 2022).
